Dr. YoungHoon Kim, officially recognised as the world’s highest IQ holder with a verified score of 276 by the Official World Record in 2024, has sparked conversation online by publicly affirming his Christian faith.
In a post shared on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Kim stated:
“As the world’s highest IQ record holder, I believe that Jesus Christ is God, the way, the truth, and the life.”
Kim’s bold proclamation quickly drew widespread reactions, with users from various faith backgrounds engaging in discussion.
One commenter, @chronicles_Curi, responded:
“The creator of all things, the redeemer, the saviour of all mankind. He owes me nothing, but I owe him everything.”
Muslim user @AdamBDeen also weighed in respectfully, saying:
“As a Muslim, I believe in Jesus Christ, the Messiah, Son of Mary, as a Prophet of God… Please reference a verse in any version of the Bible where Jesus clearly and undisputedly referred to himself as ‘God.’ I seek only respectful dialogue.”
Another user, @ZenKen99, offered a philosophical take:
“So what does this say about your IQ? Jesus said God is within. These are just names for the same divine power found across religions.”
